To make
the cupcakes, put the turmeric and powders each in their own bowl.

Mix the
cashew flour, flax meal and sea salt well, then distribute evenly between the
five bowls. Mix in 4tbsp cacao butter per bowl and add 2tbsp honey (or agave)
per bowl. Mix well. Add the lemon juice to the turmeric bowl and mix in.

Now layer
up the cupcakes, using silicone cupcake moulds for ease.

You can
arrange the colours any way you want. For mine, I did beetroot, turmeric and
lemon, purple corn, chlorella, then chocolate. Popping them in the freezer
between layers makes them firmer so you can press down each layer more effectively.

To make
the icing, mix the ingredients for the icing well. You might want to pop the
mixture in the freezer for a couple of minutes to make it easier to work with.

Take the
cupcakes out of their silicone moulds and place on parchment paper.

Pop a star
anise on the top of each cupcake. Dust with chocolate powder then the baobab
for a lovely effect of snow, without using icing sugar.

Beetroot powder is a lot of fun to work with and I use it in a lot of my recipes:)

I have only seen it for sale however, in a shop that is local to us, called Daily Bread which sells all sorts of lovely whole and super foods. You could try online (google Beetrook powder UK and lots of links come up for you to buy in on the internet).

You could also use fresh beetroot (1 tsp juice in this particular recipe might suffice!)

You can also dry beetroot in the dehydrator if you have one and then make it into powder yourself - but I suspect it will be less time and money saved to buy the actual powder!
